(B) Rs. 175
(C) Rs. 150
(D) Rs. 160

Answer 1

option (c) is correct

Answer 2

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

We will use this formula:

selling price = marked price - discount

132 = x - x*12/100

132 = x - 12x/100

132= 100x -12x /100

132 = 88x/100

88x = 132

x = 132/100

x = 150

So $150 is the marked price.
